I was curious about experimenting electronic drawing more. So I have downloaded a free version of the tool “Zen Brush”. I’ve read that it’s one of the best (but they all are, isn’t it?). The free version has a limitation => it’s not possible to use ctrl+Z… Hey ! That’s great ! That is not a limitation, that is a feature that the commercial version does not have!

I like to draw people, but I don’t like when they notice it. But with the phone, no problem, they don’t think I’m drawing them. So here was the little game/challenge: in a noisy RER, between 2 stations, draw on a phone with one finger…

Here is the result of the game:

Finally it was more about sculpting in 2D than drawing…

Reading books, learning, watching videos, playing stupid games and drawing. I have so many things to do in the RER!…

It’s a platform for spontaneous drawing, and was about spontaneous music as well (until saving recordings became too hard to maintain…)

https://take5and2.wordpress.com/2012/10/09/art-minority-report/#commentsTue, 09 Oct 2012 21:46:00 +0000http://take5and2.wordpress.com/2012/10/09/art-minority-report]]>Had no time to publish in a while, but sometimes news are too breathtaking to let them pass you by.Just read a piece of news that made my heart skip a beat:– A controversy in the art world!– Someone ‘Ruined‘\ Improved an original Rothko– Criminal is quoted as saying “I added value to it“.(You can read the news in English, Hebrew of French right here: EnglishHebrewFrench)

I remember how mesmerised I was once in Buffalo-N.Y staring at a huge Rothko and being grateful that art exists, and I am equally grateful for these ‘vandals’.

Look (or listen) – Art’s function is to wake you up from the constant daily sleep, from the brain’s routine, and transfer you to reality, be it even for a moment, but what happens when art becomes the routine?

What happens when people see a Rothko, Matisse, Monet, and that’s exactly what they see?Not the clash of colors and shapes, not the struggle form with the eye, but the name of the artist and the price tag.

I am moved to tears by art, but paying 86.9 Million for a “Rothko” is not art appreciation, it is speculation,And shit happens.And if you buy art ’cause it moves you, be ready to get moved when it is destroyed.

As for me, you’ll find me at the museum, appreciating both the Mona-Lisa (well… mainly the line of tourists in front of it) and Duchamp’s Mona-lisa with a mustach.(BTW – if someone would put a false signature on Duchamp’s rendition, will he be a criminal? an artist? both? neither?)

And one more thing – in the video of the Rothko you can see a small bit of the restoration process, which made me imagine the difference between the brush-strokes he made, the “Criminal’s” brushstrokes, and the restorator’s brushstrokes.

Now, all three remain forever on the painting, which one of them would you find most different.

Voila:

One cello (is the loneliest number)

two harps
